2020 Festival

"Charlotte New Music and Hypercube were wonderful collaborators. I learned so much through incredible workshops, masterclasses, forums, and one-on-one feedback sessions about my in-progress work. Through this, we created something that ultimately would never have been possible without this festival."

2021 Stargazer Music Festival

"2021 Best New Music Event. One of the most eclectic and inspiring music events of the year, the fest was a close encounter with out-of-this world music, celestial vibes and telescopes. The event coupled innovative music with astronomy using a battery of telescopes for perusing the heavens (by Charlotte Amateur Astronomy Club).

2020 Festival

"I really enjoyed my time at the 2020 Charlotte New Music Festival. It was a great opportunity to meet like-minded composers, and learn from a variety of ensembles/guest composers. I would recommend this festival to anyone who would like to grow as a composer!
